Revenge Stabbing at Belfast Nightclub | Belfast News

A 20-year-old man from Somalia, Mohamed Abdul Hakeem, is sentenced to 27 months in jail for a brutal revenge stabbing at Belfast’s Ollies nightclub — a crime fueled by his own traumatic past as a victim of the same assailant when he was just 18. CCTV caught him attacking the victim from behind, inflicting three deep wounds. Though he initially denied involvement during questioning, evidence and his own history sealed his fate. The judge underscored the danger of weaponized revenge in public spaces, while the defense appealed for leniency based on his youth, trauma, and full-time job as a warehouse worker. He’ll serve 27 months in custody, followed by supervised release. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
